Hans Rottenhammer: Bohemian Edition

Until August 2008, German painter Hans Rottenhammer (1564-1625) had never inspired an exhibition devoted solely to his own oeuvre. The artist’s historiographical fortunes changed dramatically when the Weserrenaissance-Museum at Schloß Brake in Lemgo, Germany decided to address the situation. Hans Rottenhammer: Desired, Forgotten, Rediscovered precipitated an overwhelmingly positive response among specialists and the general public alike. Now, from 12 December 2008 to 22 February 2009, the exhibition will reach a new audience at the Sternberg Palace location of the National Gallery in Prague.
